Progressive Defensive Carbine

Praestolor Arms has teamed up with Progressive F.O.R.C.E. Concepts (PFC) to produce the ultimate gunfighting carbine. PFC trains active duty military units, law enforcement, security professionals and civilians in firearms, tactics and skills. The members of their instructor cadre all have military experience and have served as members of Special Forces units, law enforcement tactical teams, private security contractors and executive protective details. Harnessing their years of operational experience and combined with the feedback from the veteran active duty military units that they train, The lead instructors have provided the specifications for the Progressive Defensive Carbine. The guiding principles of the design are reliability, efficiency and precision. Every component has been hand selected, tested and approved by the instructors at PFC to produce the best custom defensive carbine out of the box, nothing more, nothing less. Multiple rifles have been used over the last year during military and law enforcement training engagements from mountainous desert conditions to humid tropical environments to indoor urban settings, and the PDC has performed flawlessly.
